Jacob Adicoff (1:00:16.9), guided by Sawyer Kesselheim, won the first race of his career in the men's visually impaired. He beat Sweden’s World Championships silver medallist Zebastian Modin (1:02:43.9) with guide Johannes Andersson into second.

“I am feeling tired. It was a good race, a lot of fun. It is good to be here testing the course ahead of next year's Paralympic Winter Games,” Adicoff said.

South Korea's Eui Hyun Sin (45:41.2) delighted the home crowds to claim his third World Cup victory of the season in the men's equivalent. He remains No.2 in the rankings.

“The race went very well. Much better than the World Cups in Europe because it is my country and I do not have to get used to the food and the time,” Sin said. The 36-year-old finished ahead of USA´s Andrew Soule (46:09.6) and Canada´s Chris Klebl (46:15.3).

Austria's Carina Edlinger (56:05.1), guided by her brother Julian Edlinger, continued her winning run after claiming two golds at last February's Worlds.

“It was really hard but great, I did good and I am happy,” Edlinger said of her second World Cup win of the season.
